Subject: [gentoo-dev] How to build a LiveCD

1 Hi all,
2
3 I've been wondering for a while how to build my own
4 LiveCD, i.e. say I want to recompile/rebuild
5 livecd-basic-x86-2003011300.iso including the kernel
6 used and everything else.
7
8 Thinking the Gentoo way, I would expect that there
9 should be some "livecd.ebuild" but I have not
10 been able to find much...
11
12 cray portage # find | grep -i livecd
13 ./metadata/cache/app-admin/livecd-0.5.1
14 cray portage # ls -ld app-admin/[Ll]*
15 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 63 Dec 30 07:29 app-admin/localepurge
16 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 95 Dec 30 07:29 app-admin/logrotate
17 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 63 Jan 7 17:20 app-admin/logsentry
18 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 59 Dec 30 07:29 app-admin/longrun
19
20 How is it possible that metadata/cache/<something> exists when
21 <something> does not exist?
22
23 BTW: That metadata/cache/app-admin/livecd-0.5.1 file contains
24 stuff that apparently is not directly part of Gentoo, but something
25 about "telemetrybox"...:
26
27 sys-apps/syslinux app-misc/zisofs-tools app-cdr/cdrtools 0
28 http://cdimages.telemetrybox.org/gentoo/down-
29 load/livecd-0.5.1.tar.gz
30
31 http://cdimages.telemetrybox.org/gentoo/ GPL-2 Generate a
32 bootable Gentoo live CD. With ability to deploy Gentoo easily.
33 Includes lilo boot time pengiun animation x86 -ppc
34
35 TIA for any hints to the build procedure for a livecd.
36
37 Cheers,
